the boom struck it and secured wenty
or thirty lots before word was
said about q boom. When it reached the town
Mr. Chambers unloaded readily and cleaned
up handsomely. Still, he wears no better
clothes than he did before, and sees no special
reason "why the spirit of mortals should be
proud
Mr.. Thompson, who has just bought a half
interest in the ST. Paul Base Ball club, Will
next be compelled to study up some way i'll
which he can circumvent the universal dead
head, or else his profits will not assume those
fancy proportions that his anticipations look
forward to. He will find that he cannot pay
big salaries on the imaginary evidence of
things not seen, or the airy substance OF
things hoped for.
When Mr.. Wilgus. the real estate man.
hears anything said about Ashland and
Duluth his weather eye lights up with q
balmy glmmer, and he gives those broad
shoulders of his a sort of French twist which
seems to say, "Yes, / was there, and
brought away a nice little bundle that will
for many day keep the wolf away from my
door. Greenbacks are pleasant things to
have, and are really necessary in my BUSH

W. Fl. Dixon has always maintained that
the Milwaukee & st. Paul road is an inStitu-
ton of great antiquity. 1t is very ingen-
iouS argument that he builds up to show that
it was this great railway that bore millions of
human beings away from the flooded district
across the great desert to a place of safety,
that they might escape the great flood in the
time Of Noah. He also mentions this fact to
show how much rolling stock the Milwaukee
g. st. Paul road had packed away at that time
in its yards at Nineveh. Another fact has
recently been discovered by Dr. Schliemann
while making excavations at Pompei that
also goes far TO sustain Mr.. Dixon. The
doctor, while blowing around in the ruins of
the buried city, found piece of tile
which he figures out must be 10000
or $4,000 years old, and from tn position in
which he discovered it he says it undoubtedly
formed part of a huge system of water
tanks. The specimen is a beautiful one, and
DR.. Schlienann says the scarlet, oblong
trade mark of the Milwaukee & st. Paul road,
. that was formed on the tile when it was picked
out of the ground is just as bright to-day as it
was when it was stuck upon the tile ages ago.

Mr.. Moore, the assistant freight agent of
the Northern Pacific road, is one OF those gen
tlemen who in his boysh days, took a hand
in base ball himself. Though the cares of
business occupy his mind TO the exclusion of
all else. the warm spring days now tempt him
sorely.

Mark Costello is one of those men in ST.
Paul, that have been successful in business,
and gathered together competency that en-
ables him to take life little easier. In the
early part of the winter he sought recreation
and enjoyment mid the orange groves OF
California. 1t was pleasant way to enjoy
that portion of the Sc aSon when the sharp
zephyrs of January float along at twenty
below in Minnesota. He has returned from
his pleasant southern trip and tells some eX-
periences. He stopped, for instance, at Ell
PnSn n land nf nnandiDT sand hills
culean mosquitoes. That is the land of the
bowie knife and the revolver. Every man
there wears navy revolver and knife
strapped around his body. None but those
from the North are without these warlke
looking implements. 1t seemed quite pecu-
liar to him that in that pleasant land of
peace and plenty. where everybody coul1
enjoy themselves if they were only disposed
to do so, they went armed, as rule, to the

Mr.. Osborne, who seems disposed to pursue
his difficulty with the board of education
declares his intention to commence suit
against that institution and disclose all its
doings for several years past. If there is
any richness there it should be disclosed. but
it is very much doubted if the amusement
will prove sufficiently entertaining.
